Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a wearable computer for displaying augmented reality information based on the driver's location and posture. Additionally, it can adjust the vehicle's conditioner or audio device based on the driver's location. The computer includes a communication unit, microphone, posture detecting sensor, and controller. The controller generates augmented reality information based on the vehicle's external control apparatus, sound waves collected from the microphone, and the driver's location and posture. The display unit shows the augmented reality information generated by the controller. Overall, this invention enhances the driver's safety and provides better driving experience.

Problems solved by technology

Generally, because these optical devices are so large, these optical devices occupy a large amount of space when these optical devices are configured in the vehicle.
Thus, it restricts the size and the components that can be utilized in vehicle.
This is not economical or cost efficient.

Abstract

A wearable computer is provided. In particular, a communication unit transmits / receives information associated with a vehicle from / to an external control apparatus. A microphone collects sound waves generated from a sound source in the vehicle, and a posture detecting sensor detects a posture of a wearer. A controller then generates augmented reality information by processing internal and / or external information received from the external control apparatus, calculates a location of wearer using sound waves collected from the microphone, and generates augmented reality information according to an alignment of a window of vehicle or devices in the vehicle using the location and the posture of the wearer displays the augmented reality information generated at the controller.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0122235 filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Oct. 14, 2013, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002](a) Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a wearable computer.
